Talking about quality leather is the first thing to do. The leather should have the ability to withstand a beating and continue working. Your best friend is full-grain, high quality leather. The leather is your best friend, who will never let you down no matter how mischievous you are. This stuff develops more character over time than fine wine.

Let’s move onto the handiwork. No, we’re not interested in something thrown together while on coffee break. If you’re looking for a vest, make sure it has been made with love.

Oh boy! Pockets are a whole other story. These pockets are great for keeping your stuff safe when you’re out and about. But we aren’t talking just about something to put your hand in when it starts getting cold. The pockets are for your phones, wallets – and perhaps a little snack to take on the road. All the pockets you can fit in, the better.

The leather biker vest that you choose will depend on many factors: the fit, the style, the quality and the function.
